Yet another hardy geranium that will make you wonder how you ever gardened without it. 'Midnight Reiter' offers deep purple leaves and large, dark lilac flowers. A semi-dwarf, this geranium will stay less than a foot tall or across. Some gardeners insist this plant causes "jaws to drop"! Combine with golden-leafed varieties like Geranium 'Anne Folkard' and Carex 'Gold Fountains' for an unusual effect.
